The Ecology of Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria make a major contribution to world photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation, but are also notorious for causing nuisances such as dense and often toxic `blooms' in lakes and the ocean. The Ecology of Cyanobacteria: Their Diversity in Time and Space is the first book to focus solely on ecological aspects of these organisms. Its twenty-two chapters are written by some thirty authors, who are leading experts in their particular subject. The book begins with an overview of the cyanobacteria - or blue-green algae, for those who are not specialists - then looks at their diversity in the geological record and goes on to describe their ecology in present environments where they play import...
Biologists Under Hitler
Her book also provides overwhelming evidence of German scientists' conscious misrepresentation after the war of their wartime activities. In this regard, Deichmann's capsule biography of Konrad Lorenz is particularly telling.
Patenting the Recombinant Products of Biotechnology and Other Molecules
The avenue consisting in lowering the non obviousness standard, chosen by the Federal Circuit in In re Deuel, is rejected in a detailed critic of the case. Several current examples of sui generis intellectual property rights are then described. A "no action" scenario is also examined, emphasizing that the rapid changes occurring in biotechnology might ultimately make the current problem obsolete. Finally, broader issues such as the growing secrecy in basic science are acknowledged, and linked to the disappearance of a clear distinction between basic and applied research.
Fungal Associations
This volume highlights fungal associations, as they are found in mycorrhizas, lichens and other fungal symbioses. The emphasis is laid upon the molecular, biochemical and ultrastructural analysis of these interactions. Major progress has been achieved over the last few years by the systematic application of modern methods, developed mainly in molecular biology. The data are presented in high-quality illustrations, leading the reader from the subcellular to higher levels of organization where specific symbiotic traits become apparent. Early stages of symbiotic interactions are of special interest. They are compared to parasitic interrelations and also considered from an evolutionary standpoint.
Progress in Botany
With one volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of the plant sciences. The present volume includes reviews on genetics, cell biology, and vegetation science.
Otto Hahn
Discusses Hahn’s contributions to science and his reflections of scientific and social responsibility. The author concludes that Hahn’s ideas can still serve as a foundation for responsible and moral actions by scientists.
